Corporate Insolvency

Hutchinson Legal can provide advice to liquidators, administrators and receivers appointed to insolvent companies to deal with the wide range of legal issues that confront external administrators in their assessment and management of a company’s financial affairs. Such matters include dealing with retention of title claims over property in the company’s possession, claims against creditors of the company that have received preference payments, claims to “claw back” uncommercial transactions as well as insolvent trading claims made against Directors of the company.
